>The Talmud tells us that the raven didn’t fly away to perch on a treetop out of concern for its mate. You see, the raven assumed that others are as depraved and as selfish as itself. When Noah drove the raven from the ark, it assumed that he had seen it mating and drove it from the ark out of lust for its mate.
>Here the Talmud provides a startling insight into the mind of the selfish. Selfish people are not cruel; they simply assume that everyone else is just like them. If they don’t take something for themselves, someone else will surely take it, so they might as well take it first. They don’t think about the fallout of their actions on decent unselfish people, because they assume that the whole of the world is selfish.
